Are you kidding me....

This has to be one of the most absurd closing offers I've seen in quite a long time..

E-mail offer for closing tomorrow - REO purchase - lender docs about 60 pages.....at a MACDONALDS.....here's the kicker - faxbacks from table required!!!


Good grief!!

Absurd.... but not impossible....

If they paid me enough, I'd do it.

Why? I have a mobile scanner and could easily scan those babies in and send them off using the email fax service I have with RingCentral.

A lot of the McDonald's around here have free wi-fi, too... so extra bonus.

But you darn well bet they'd have to pay for me for it.

Re: Marian that is the best reason...

to own one of those wond scanners. However I have never been asked to fax from the table. So I still not sure they are worth the investment yet.

LOL, Linda. I think that's just one example of how bizarre & unreasonable the requests can be at times. I've been thinking a lot lately that I'm not a trained seal & don't jump through hoops for someone's entertainment.

What's your point.?
Catching a spinning hoops IS NOT jumping THROUGH hoops.
Seals can't jump worth a $hit
They ain't got no feet.
Please get with the program
this is important stuff.

Well, in 11 years and over 9,000 loans, we've closed in a number of loans in MacDonalds, Einstein's, Starbucks, a LotaBurger, a BioPark, a Truck Terminal, in banks, on patios, on the hood of a Buick parked in a garage (house being fumigated), in the airport terminal and a jail pod to name only a few. The location doesn't matter. That's why they call it Mobile Notary.
What I tell the people is that if they want something special like fax-backs, fine, it will cost you more (1st ten pages are free) and I will do it from my office after the signing, not FROM MacDonalds (or wherever). That's just nuts. This is how we operate our business, and you can either meet our terms, and our price, or find another notary (in nice professional terms of course).

I understand completely why funding docs have to be

faxed back on a purchase - I really do - been there done that -

But jeez....read your confirmations before you send them out, okay? The instructions specifically said fax "from the table" - and I realize the "from the table" requirement is to keep the signers there and available if there are any issues....but really...from the table at Macdonalds? Proof your confirmations before sending them out - make sure they make sense.

This was a $75, 80+ mile rt, 60 page (X2=120 printed) travel minimum 2 hours....I didn't even respond but, according to what I received, it was filled in less than 5 minutes.

Ugh

Had one of those 15 miles from my home office and was told to go to the nearest pay for fax facility which was a Staples. I was told they would reimburse me for the fax and told it had to be done. I did as instructed and the cost was 27. or so..... When I submitted the cost for reimbursement, they told me I should have asked the cost first, and not done it. This is after telling me how important it was that I fax from there! I reminded them of that and they then said they could have found another way!!!! I ended up only being reimbursed for half the cost and they have never called me again.
